With 21.9 million streams registered, 6.4 million airplay impressions audience and 153,000 singles sold, the track (which features rapper Latto as a guest artist) came out of the box as a certifiable monster. Country star Jason Aldean doesn’t have a similar Army bolstering him, but does sound like he might be forming a militia in “Try That in a Small Town.” The deeply polarizing song was able to ride a wave of headlines to a No. 2 entry, after it’d spent the last two months not even cracking the lower ranks of the chart, prior to the controversy erupting.

Country music stars Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs simultaneously hold the top two spots on the coveted Billboard Hot 100, marking the first time the genre has sat in those positions in a long time.

The Hot 100 chart is seeing a country music comeback.For the first time in 42 years, country music stars simultaneously hold the top two spots on the coveted music list. Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” remains atop the chart, with Luke Combs’ “Fast Car” coming in a close second. The last time country musicians were on top of the all-genre chart was in 1981.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic In case anyone is tempted to think of country music as a one-man phenomenon at present with Morgan Wallen’s seemingly indomitable runs atop multiple charts, Luke Combs has come along to remind everyone that this town is big enough for the both of ’em. They’re now forming a two-man roadblock at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, as, between them, country owns the top two spots on that all-genre charts for the first time in 42 years. Wallen’s smash “Last Night” remains on top of the Hot 100 — no news there, since this is the song’s 14th week at No. 1. But it is a fresh development to have Combs’ cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” cruising close up behind it, moving up one spot to No. 2. It’s the first time the genre has claimed Nos. 1-2 on Billboard’s primary chart since March 1981, when Eddie Rabbitt’s “I Love a Rainy Night” and Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” managed the same crossover-success feat.
